(BBC) A Manchester Arena victim would have had “quite a high” survival chance had he been treated sooner, a court heard.
It took paramedics nearly an hour to treat John Atkinson, 28, the public inquiry into the 2017 bombing was told.
Former British Army medic Col Jonathan Clasper is part of the inquiry’s “blast wave panel” examining the likelihood of survival for those caught in the bomb.
Col Clasper said Mr Atkinson’s chances would have been much higher if he had been treated within a 40-minute window.
The healthcare worker went into cardiac arrest one hour and 16 minutes after the blast, following significant blood loss from injuries to his legs, the inquiry into the atrocity was told.
